I hope this is the right place to ask for advice, because I couldn't find a solution elsewhere.

I bought a kindle book, however, when I tried to send it to my Viewsonic gtablet, I couldn't because I was supposed to download an update to Kindle for android. When I tried to do that on the kindleforandroid page I couldn't because:

We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions on the product which you were attempting to purchase. Please refer to the terms of use for this product to determine the geographical restrictions.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I can't use the Amazon app store for the same reason.

I also can't download this particular book to my Kindle for PC because again, I am supposed to update my software. I did that, but I still got te following message when I tried to open my book:

Without knowing more specifics, it is diifficult to troubleshoot. Is the account in the U.S.? Did the Kindle for Android app come pre-installed on your tablet or did you install the app? From the information you have provided it would seem that you have software/books, hardware, or accounts that are not in the same geographical location (on record).

I installed the app, though I can't remember where I downloaded the apk from (I think it made have been via SlideME app on my tablet since I have no access to Google Market and did not root the device.

I have an amazon.co.uk and amazon.com account. My billing address is in my home country, and my credit card is also issued in my home country. I have never registered an account using a foreign address. I checked my amazon account, and the country settings show as my own country. Usually, if I want to get a book that is geographically restricted, it is plainly shown on the page, but here it seems the only reason I can't access it is because my kindle for PC isn't updated, but the version installed is 1.9.3, last updated 4/15/2012.

The book in question was purchased from the amazon.com account as were all my other books, and I never had a problem with any of them. I checked some of them, and I can access them all.

At the very least, can someone point me to where I could find the latest apk so I can install it myself and see whether it's truly just that I need an update? Otherwise I will have to return the book for a refund. Thanks in advance.

1Mobile has the latest. It's where most of us Kindle Fire users get our apks to be sideloaded.

I normally would, but since both my Kindle for PC and Kindle for Android were sending the same note on the upgrade, I suspected customer service would say the same. It turns out the issue was the need for an update, which I've resolved now with Blossom's help.
